  • Layers of layers of people and structure fading away into the distance, who needs to see any buildings to feel the big city? This is a great capture, showing us busy city life and how different it can be to our own experiences. Congratulations to the winner of this City Competition 1 2021 - all cities!

  • We like the composition here, having half of the frame filled with a tiled roof, how bold is that? This gives a point of difference, a strong and confident statement. Well done to the photographer of this photo!

  • Symmetry and breaking the symmetry. Excellent composition and colour blocks - seeing what’s unfolding from above. These young people might have no idea that there was an observer up high. Great photo, we also like the shadow interfering with it all. How longer we look into this capture, how more we can see.

  • Holding on to a drowning world could be the statement behind this photo. The word ’Support’ and the oversized hands might have a meaning, something we don’t fully understand. Great post-production in black and white with good tonality.

  • Excellent in colour tonality, which also shows in the reflection in the water as well.This adds another layer to this complex image.

  • Paris at twilight, what an iconic city this is. And this photo shows it well. Loving the mood of it all, slightly hazy in pastel colours.

  • Definitely a point of difference in this photo. When screws give an impression of being skyscrapers. An interesting idea and technically well execution.

  • My name is Cindy and I live in Missouri. Thank you for recognizing my "City of Industry" creation. Just like to try a different approach now and then.

  • A lovely feeling of fresh air on the outscirts of a city, leaving the big smoke behind. We like composition and colours in this photo. Nice contrast as well.

  • Some darkness and mystery, the light in this industrial space is great. Many questions being asked in this photograph, no answers provided. An intriguing capture this is.

  • After the second look I realized that this image shows enormous ships. Ships which feel like entire cities. The buzzing life one can only imagine, unless of course, one is on the ship them self.
